"My uncle just had finished his project on the house, so I asked him how was the experience with the contractor and he said it went really good! I contacted Alter Construction and explained in few words about the project. Cynthia asked the right questions and when Eli came he already had all the information. Now that everyone is working from home I had to have a dedicated office. Eli asked if we had an architect or an engineer, we didn’t so he provided those services as well. The nice thing was that we could see the final design and the materials even before we started the project. Me and my wife are working all day from home and taking care of the kids, I just didn’t had the time to manage the project. So that was a such a huge relief to be able to trust them with that. This was our first project and for us it was really big, and they took all our worries away! The communication was exceptional, considering we are always busy from meeting to meeting, so the only way to communicate was through emails or late evening meeting. They adapt to our necessities. I’ve worked with many people before and Eli definitely set the bar high up with work quality, availability and most importantly, honesty. We will definitely keep recommending Alter Construction to our family and friends!"

"Working with Ace Remodeling TX on our full house remodel was a fantastic experience. Asaf was the project manager, and he was on top of every detail. They helped us with the design and layout, making sure we maximized every inch of space. The communication was top-notch, and they finished the project right on time. I appreciated how they explained the process, making us feel comfortable throughout. We love our “new” home, and it is all thanks to the team!"

"After they tore out the old limestone fireplace and installed the new firebox with a four stair blower system, they ran vents to several rooms in our home. That work included some framing, sheet rock patching and painting."

"This contractor 1. Showed up for work on a regular basis 2. Responded quickly to resolve issues 3. Did not try to increase prices beyond the commitment in the quote Based on experience in my area (Austin Texas), it is extremely difficult to find a contractor with those qualities. My main complaint is the quality of painting and framing work, which needed to be re-done (by the contractor or myself)."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:

  • How long do you expect the process to take?

  • Are you fully licensed and insured?

  • How much of the work will you subcontract?

  • Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?

  • How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?

  • How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?

  • How much experience do you have?

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Most cottages are around 1,000 square feet, making them smaller than most other styles. However, cottages are defined more by their decor and architectural focus on simplicity, functionality, and a connection to nature than they are by a rigid square footage or floor plan. While cottages are defined more by their charm and appearance than size, the smaller footprint does help maximize the comfort and charm, and it keeps the focus on connection to nature and family.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
